From the Missouri Republican
In the extreme southwest corner OF Louisiana
lies the largest producing farm In the world. It
runs 100 miles north and south and - miles east
and west, and is owned and operated by a syndi-
cate OF northern capitalists. Their general mana
ger, j. b. Watkins, gives an Interesting cunt OF
this gigantic plantation, which throws the great
Dalrympe farm in Dakota into the shade CON-
pletely. The million and half acres OF our tract,
Mr.: Watkins said, was purchased in 1882 from the
state OF Louisiana and from the United States gov
eminent. At that time it was vast grazing land
for the cattle OF the few dealers OF the
hood. When took possession found over 30 QUO
head OF half-wtld horses and cattle. My work was
TO divide the immense tract into convenient past
ureS, establishing stations or ranches every six
miles The fencing alone cost in the neighborhood OF
5000 The land found to be best adapted to
rice, sugar, corn and cotton. All our cult1vat1nR,
ditching. etc., is done by steam power. We take
tract say half a mile wide, for instance and place
an engine on each side. These engines are port
able and operate a cable attached to four ploughs
and under this arrangement We are able to plough
thirty acres day with only the labor OF three
men. Our narrowing, planting and other cultiva-
ton Is done in like manner. In fact, there Is
not single draught-horse on the entire place. We
have OF course horses for the herderS OF cattle of
which we now have 1t, 600 head. The southern
Pacific railroad runs for thirty-six miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats, operating
on the waters OF our own estate, upon which there
are 300 miles OF nav1gable waters. We have an
tcehOuSe, a bank, a shtpyard and a nce mill.

WITH A RIFLE.
PECULIAR A. tCIDBNC AT A
SHOOTING GALLERT
Last Night-A woman PractfcinE for
n shooting match Causes the
Death OF % Young boy.

A peculiar accident, by which
young ooy lost his life and a woman
was rendered miserable, occurft d at
the shooting gallery, at the corner OF
Main and Poplar streets, at 1880 'ast
nisht. At that hour the gallery was
almost deserted by patrons, and Mrs.
Nellie Thompson, the proprietor, was
practising for match contest at the
Peoples Theatsr with Miss Ada Ar
mour. She was trying what is termed
a looking glass slot, in which her
back was turned toward the target,
and the aim taken through locking
glass, the gun resting on her left
shoulder. The boy, Willie Finley,
II years old, was sitting near the
north wall, short distance to the
woman's right, and just as she was
ready to fire, attempted to run across
the room in front Of the muzz'e.
Not percsiving him she pulled
the trigger, and the ball
struck him just below the right
shoulder, ranging upward and sever.
ing the sub Clavesn artery. AS he fell
he called the woman's name and ex-
pired almost instantly. SerRt. Horan,
who happened to be near when
the accident occurred, was the first
person to reach the scene, aud found
Mrs. Thompson almost crszed with
grief over the unfortunate affair.
Deputy Coroner Barry arrived IN
after and held an inques', the verdict
of the jury being accidental killing.
The gun was q 22.csliber Winchester
rifle, and the wound inflicted on the
boy, but for the fact that the ball
struck rib and glanced upward,
would hardly have proved fatal.
There vera only two witnesses to
the killing, Mr.. II. N. Keith, who runs
the saloon mex door, and also owns a
half interest in the shooting gallery,
and A. V. Franklin, colored porter
in the saloon.
The dead boy was employed in the
gallery, and Faid to be steady,
straightforward lad. His father is a
hagman at the Louisville and Nash.

The woman, whose grief was touch
ing, is a widow, and came to this city
about six weeks ago, and while one
ofthe principals in the proposed shoot
ing match, has no connection with the
resort at which it Is 10 occur, and did
not even know the other woman In

STORMS and FRESHETS

CHICAGO, Ill, February S.-A Daily
NeUs special from Egu, ILL.,, says:
ElgIn awoke this morning to find a
large sized food upon the city. The
Chicago street bridge is partly washed
away. 1t was built six years ego by
the Milwsukee road after the washout
of the spring of 1881, which was fol-
lowed by terrible ferry boat disaster.
The Chicago street bridge is the prin-
cipal one. There are two others, and
it is feared they may go. Cellars all
over town in low places ara flooded.
Cooks publishing house has several
feet of water in several rooms. The
loss of printing stock is very large.

Boats Jammed in by Ice.

BUFFALO, N. Y, February s.
Another food is imminent in the
Thirteenth Ward. Long continued
rains again caused Buffalo creek to
rise. Judging by appearances this
evening considerable damage is likely
to follew. In the vicinity of Abbott
road and Seneca street 1t has flooded
everything. The propellers Fountain
City and Idaho are wedged against
the Michigan street bridge, where
they were forced by an ice jam some
weeks ago. Between these boats
is the Annie Vought, all held firmly
by the ice which is piled up in the
creek to the east to depth of l5 feet.
The residents were getting ready for
an expected freshet. Some people
keep boats in houses, these being got
ready for use for fear the flood will
move houses from their foundations.
On Seneca street the water is two feet
above the road and rising rapidly.
